StarWind HyperConverged Appliance

StarWind HCA is a 100% software-defined hyperconverged infrastructure designed to minimize applications downtime for companies with limited IT team resources and budgets.

StarWind HyperConverged Appliance ensures constant uptime thanks to synchronous failover clustering between on-premises and public cloud and ability of a 2-node system to withstand 1 node + 1 disk failure. Customers spend zero time on fixing issues since HCA comes with StarWind ProActive Support included by default to prevent the breaks. StarWind HCA brings configuration, migration, and integration efforts to minimum since everything is done by StarWind engineers at no additional cost. All that – with a price 2x lower than a Tesla Model 3 for a 2-node system.

Zero additional components are needed to scale the infrastructure, since StarWind Hybrid Cloud extends the existing on-premises environment to a cost-efficient public cloud of customer’s choice.

Trusted by The World's Leading Companies

“Does StarWind satisfy all the requirements? Absolutely. It has been tested several times with power failures and server crashes and has successfully rolled over to the operating server to avoid any downtime.“

“Price + Simplicity. StarWind VSAN offers great pricing and allows us to get work done without expensive custom hardware. It also makes getting back online quick and easy after an outage or hardware failure.“

“StarWind’s VSAN product is extremely easy to use. POC was a breeze to setup, and the engineering assistance for production configuration gave me peace of mind that our new solution was deployed following the developers best practices.“

If somebody is looking for an excellent software-defined storage solution that offers the potential for better TCO, efficiency and scalability to address exponential-data-growth needs, than StarWind is my choice #1

We selected StarWind because it met all our requirements and was a good value for the price. We went with all flash in our StarWind storage solution and were able to greatly exceed our backup RPO because of the increased performace.

We chose StarWind mainly because of the cost compared to other vendors. Simplicity of setup was also a major factor and I like the fact that you don’t need a vendor certified engineer to perform the installation.

Bosch VMS got Highly Available infrastructure, using StarWind Virtual SAN to build Microsoft Hyper-V Failover Cluster. Moreover, Bosch achieved redundancy and fault-tolerance of the security system with lowered power consumption and reduced implementation operational and capital expenses.

The deployment provided increased performance with reduced costs and the same ease of management. We used to focus on stability and now we will give full attention to. We will definitely consider StarWind for future deployments, especially because of low hardware requirements and flexible configuration.

StarWind seemed the easiest and most straight-forward system to implement without tight storage limits for entry-level systems. We plan on continuing to host the ESXi servers datastores using StarWind Virtual SAN.

The stability has never been an issue, not even a single hiccup. This is a product I would highly recommend especially in the SMB market where budgets are always tighter and utilizing hardware for multiple purposes makes the management very happy.

Daniel Covell, IT Consultant of Anchor Brewing Company, Founder and President of The Covell Group LLC

The simplicity, reliability and performance are unmatched, especially when you consider that the pricing comes in less than the competitors. After one year in production service, we'd easily and readily recommend StarWind's software to any server admin looking for a robust and cost-effective SAN, without the single point of failure or proprietary operating system of a hardware solution.

One day I was talking to VEEAM support and they saw my processing rate was around 300 MB to a small 5 disk QNAP NAS. They said my storage speed on my host was really very good. Better than most numbers they usually see.

StarWind Virtual SAN is deployed in AIDA (Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics in the Atmosphere) research facility to ensure high availability of scientific data. The result is a total success with approximate uptime of 99.9986301% and just one hour a month downtime due to planned maintenance. StarWind Virtual SAN provided high performance and 24/7 data availability for scientists from every time zone to continue their research non-stop.

We strongly recommend StarWind solution. Since our initial deployment our storage needs have grown and the product has successfully grown with us. We have increased our storage exponentially without any complications. We can now perform maintenance on our storage cluster without creating an outage.

This setup has been bullet-proof for the last 18 months and the performance was for the most part better than expected. We have been very impressed with Starwind Software and have deployed it in a variety of similar configurations successfully since this project.

We have tried different storage system solutions to obtain data synchronization and redundancy, but most of them didn't provide the real-time synching that we required. Then we tested StarWind, and even tried to "sabotage" it but it just kept working! StarWind meets all our needs and has taken a prominent place in our IT environment.

The whole process from evaluating the product and discussions with StarWind technical staff to final purchase was straightforward, helpful and in no way did I ever feel forced to purchasing the product. This is the first class product and company.

Combining StarWind and Veeam is one of the best IT solutions that we have seen in years. We got affordable networked storage, increased application and data availability, protected our VMware infrastructure and were able to do all this for less than 25% of what we initially budgeted. No other solutions came even close to the product quality and cost which we got with StarWind and Veeam.

With the StarWind solution, Reseaunance obtained reliable SAN with advanced features. The StarWind storage solution offered security for our data. It can be scaled according to the company’s storage needs with promised zero downtime and fast disaster recovery. Data deduplication technology was exactly the thing we required, because it permits us to store a large amount of data without extending our existing storage.

Because of my investment in StarWind’s fantastic HA solution and Microsoft Hyper-V clustering & Live Migration, it was possible to physically move my servers from one datacenter to another without any interruption of service and without risking data.

Since we implemented StarWind iSCSI SAN, we have found it easy to deploy, update, and maintain a service that is highly available from end to end. We know that we are protected against unexpected failures, and that StarWind support is there for us if any difficulties arise.
